Saddam Hussein called President Bush and said, "George, I had a wonderful
dream last night. I could see America, the whole country, and on each house I
saw a banner."

"What did it say on the banners?" Mr. Bush asked.

Saddam replied, "LONG LIVE SADDAM HUSSEIN."

Mr. Bush responded, "You know, Saddam, I am really happy you called. Last
night I had a similar dream. I could see all of Baghdad, and it was more
beautiful than ever. It had been rebuilt completely, and on each house flew an
enormous banner."
